My first ever lipstick was a revlon. My first lipstick is in the shade 820 pink cognito. I was, I guess what I would call lipstick shy. I wanted a colour that was very similar to my lip colour and I didn't really want to look like I was wearing any lipstick, I just wanted my lip colour to be a little bit nicer. I was quite scared to wear lipstick and I was always worrying about what other people thought. I went for this colour because it is a very neutral nude/pink shade. I have to say that this lipstick has been very well loved.

I find that the revlon lipsticks are very moisturising and feels light and comfortable to wear on the lips. This is exactly what I wanted when I was looking for a lipstick and had never worn anything more than mascara. I was quite scared of makeup for a while because i never really knew how to apply anything. It really just takes practice, I am no professional but I just try different ways and stick with what works best for me.
My Revlon 820 pink cognito is so well loved I thought I would have gone out and bought another shade sooner, I guess I didn't because I was still quite scared and this was like my "Safe" lipstick. I have become a bit more adventurous with lip colours now and have corals, oranges, dark reds ect. (I have a growing obsession, shhh) I have not bought dark colours in this brand however because I can't resist the pinks. They have a great range in pinks and nude/neutral colours (of course they also have some other great shades but I love my nudes, pinks and corals.)
My other favourite colour in this lipstick is 805 kissable pink. This colour is still quite a neutral pink, but just adds a little bit more colour to the lips. It is a pinker colour and has a little bit of a shimmer to it.

Revlon lipsticks are probably on the higher price range for "drugstore" lipsticks, that being around $21 each (Australian Dollars). If you are looking for a matte shade of lipstick these are defiantly not matte, they are quite shiny (As these are in the 'shine' range). These lipsticks aren't a strong colour, so I tend to go to these lipsticks when I don't want a strong or heavy lipstick.
Because these lipsticks are quite moisturising and creamy I tend to have to put a bit more on to get the desired colour, however this doesn't bother me because they are so comfortable to wear.
